7Westfield Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Anyone got a recommendation for headlights for my Westfield? I'm looking to replace the 7" units with something smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Are you asking for 5 3/4 housings on the actual lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Westfield Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 yes 5.75 or smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vovchandr Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Just now, 7Westfield said: yes 5.75 or smaller Again, housings or actual lights? I've switched from 7in so I've been through this. If housings when I looked into it it's hard to get better than Caterham OEM between quality, fit and adjustments but they are expensive. If lights, I'd recommend just pretty regular eBay LED replacements between $40 to $100. Work great and look great. Many styles from you to chose from, one imitating OEM new Caterham design.

MV8 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 You could fit cheap, bottom mount motorbike 5-3/4 buckets (re-paint them or at least clear coat before installation if not stainless) then use DOT or EU lamps for a country where they drive on the "correct" side of the road. A glass lens with H4 socket would be nice. Checkout Hella for excellent quality lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Westfield Posted October 15, 2023 Author Share Posted October 15, 2023 The bike units were my first thought, but I figured I'd see what others have used. I get so tired of trying to sort out whether the stuff on ebay is simply bad, or really crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I've bought various hella lights from these folks: https://www.rallylights.com/hella-5-3-4-round-e-code-hi-lo-conversion-headlamp-kit.html These look ok for lamps but may not have much of a low beam "cutoff" toward the centerline/on-coming traffic: https://www.ebay.com/itm/292716679385?hash=item44274610d9:g:kF8AAOSwWUBcQk6~&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwB09826FuxvWcy5b8gQ%2F7o1MkURoA1uHHslJonVQYpfdwLloexlWpc1CcYDtYDVsOkMEv0Y5y4hBnrtEmLtjjqqTwqSy%2BOHgLSk3IaBuqRhbsYIIlgV%2FdBNfwcCu9iaYPzT7YJqM%2FD4qpynhIiuXArXUyxtZN1eV6TC30Ww65Xm09v7fjFa0uvOzrwRIdUv1ZZEJnjx075LReL1JYTiH10CcxH1WJuRsXxbuOvPYXk2d5hWUMkLQqUz67cjgfRWFFA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4LoxtTmYg In glass but no apparent pattern judging from the back (more like an aux light than head): https://www.ebay.com/itm/175535853904?hash=item28dec09150:g:LjIAAOSwWq5jnDB-&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwFaJ%2F6M9nVn1X48cA%2FATE%2F3ebrfwKbFEZS%2B%2FkIbSobnGrE0cHm4k%2FiWWrVKCZt6u4DFaZ4m55UCzFNynF9gQANFcOrLiBXr7dii34lWQaRij3NP4yRCN%2BLCytDBIhLedS6WDNkZBZildpbA31159C%2BlCeVy9g0sPnGy43Qrk6TcdFT04qjQN8cB31gzXIIiFsucNPWMSZNaF085JTw%2BgI3kJCJPRTMKU7QKvzO2PT%2B%2FrgkyNxBX7ydxHBcfJFsbMNQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5LoxtTmYg I'd rattle-can clear these then make a mount block (aluminum blocks are about $17 each with a set scew): https://www.ebay.com/itm/145122577371?hash=item21c9facbdb:g:pGMAAOSwLVpjM~4Q&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwCMIRFqMDctSR2JPzjlaJOBvtAYIXnhcqxgCK6f6g2V0H2C23wqZpSNsgn9c0dndhqs0fdRSPinHK6M4Mht0%2Fvh2ABJ0Ou9HC3a8k9FV3G6r4XrHqNtophtED5JiCJ8FzC3%2BrLCBC4Irrc2o7uaPbvSMTAS8hG8vWs2NWRR0A8SvTn56EqY47DzS%2BH7%2Bc9cO5t5l29aLdug99F90zVOqQNeLGnUXkqJB0IkDN28Rt2Pxb7lcqvTd9XZd0mWkYJNFwg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6TG2NPmYg These look ok.
